This was a critically lauded season, but we expect there will be a fancy box set of the show's entire run after its fifth and final season. If you're a diehard fan, you will probably want to hold out for that.

U.S. was never a "democracy" and "Christians" have more fun and are more emotionally stable and intellectually interesting than any people I've ever known. Otherwise this has delightful stories and characters, well-acted and the period was perhaps the most charming in history.

Absolutely loved it until end of season 4. Now I think it's a super depressing waste of time. All the great work on ambiance, characters and costumes lost into an abyss of a nilistic wasteland. This series will be remembered for what it could have been.
